Musa Bagh, Historical garden complex in Lucknow, India
Musa Bagh spans across extensive grounds on the outskirts of Lucknow, with remnants of Indo-European architecture and surrounding agricultural fields.
The fifth Nawab of Awadh, Saadat Ali Khan, constructed Musa Bagh between 1798 and 1814, incorporating French architectural elements into its design.
The garden complex served as an entertainment venue where the Nawabs organized animal competitions between tigers, rhinos, and elephants for European visitors.
The structure includes earthenware conduits connected to roof vents, creating an advanced cooling system for managing high temperatures during summer months.
During the 1857 uprising, Musa Bagh became the final stronghold for Begum Hazrat Mahal and Prince Birjis Qadr against British forces.
